It has been revealed that a new residential development in Camden in Sydney's south west could see homes built right next to gas wells.
Currently the land is a quiet, rural area that borders key growth centres in the south-west. Camden Council is about to rezone it into as residential, allowing 900 new homes to be built.
However the council is keeping quiet on AGL's plans to put a series of gas wells on the same land.
The wells are part of a proposed gas field near Campbelltown, which Camden Council supports.
Documents reveal if the rezoning goes ahead, homes could be built just fifty metres from gas wells.
According to Jacqui Kirkby from Scenic Hills Association: "It's just a massive experiment with the south west Sydney, we're being turned into guinea pigs if this goes ahead."
